Well, he does like John Lennon. I don't think non-Americans get the cultural implications of John Lennon in America. Here, back in the day when homosexuality was a federal crime, homosexuals would signal their want of sex by gingerly tossing a John Lennon eight track (fiendishly unpopular, thus ubiquitous and cheap, since Lennon was not big with the eight track set) at the object of their assfucking desire. So now, when we Americans hear "John Lennon," what we are hearing in our heads is closer to "Illicit Assfucking."
